We use Amazon S3/Cloudfront. You could use Amazon Elastic Transcoder to convert the videos into various formats as well, but we use Encoding.com for that purpose.
- ratpik 12y agoHave there been any issues with availability? Any maintenance overheads once it has been setup?
- byoung2 12y agoWe haven't had any issues at all (running this setup since December 2011). Encoding.com has been running since October 2012. They have a feature where you authorize them for an S3 bucket and create a rule that any new files placed in that bucket will get converted based on a config and then uploaded to a different bucket. So when we have new videos, we upload them to one bucket, and within minutes they get converted to webm, ogv, and mp4 and moved to the hosting bucket. The app reads from Cloudfront for either progressive download for HTML5 video, or streaming for Flash. Pretty easy to set up and 0 ongoing maintenance.
